I think grapeseed oil is a preservative. I don't usually add any preservative to mine or put it in the fridge although the aloe vera gel may call for a preservative or refrigeration.

Another good preservative is rosemary oil. It's also good for stimulating growth.

If I'm not mistaken, grapeseed oil is a natural preservative as well as tea tree oil. Though, I've mixed my shea butter without either one and the mix would last me MONTHS at a time.

Honey and Grapefruit Seed Oil are natural preservatives!!! Grapeseed oil is a carrier oil, tea tree is a natural antiseptic.....I hope this helps!
